A Philhellene Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian State, diligently ignored: George Nugent-Grenville, 2nd Baron Nugent of Carlanstown, GCMG
George Nugent-Grenville, second Baron Nugent of Carlanstown (Dublin 1788 - Buckinghamshire 1850), was a Whig Member of Parliament. In November 1830 he became one of the Lords of the Treasury, but in August 1832 he resigned the post, to become Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands (The United States of the Ionian Islands) from 12 November 1832 to 4 March 1835), from which he again resigned on the return of the Tories to power, considering his administration incompatible with their policies. His administration was characterised by philhellenism and charity. His political and social initiatives encouraged a rapprochement between the British administration of the Protectorate and the Greek population of the Ionian State.
